Hi, I see https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-21672 has been open for a while. We at IBM are building Flink with the latest v11 Semeru JDK (https://developer.ibm.com/languages/java/semeru-runtimes/). Flink fails to build with skipTests. It fails because sun.management.VMManagement class Cannot be found at build time. I see some logic in the Flink code to tolerate the lack of com.sun packages, but not this sun package. We get:
ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:3.8.0:compile (default-compile) on project flink-local-recovery-and-allocation-test: Compilation failure: Compilation failure: [ERROR] /Users/davidradley/flinkapicurio/flink-end-to-end-tests/flink-local-recovery-and-allocation-test/src/main/java/org/apache/flink/streaming/tests/StickyAllocationAndLocalRecoveryTestJob.java:[418,23] cannot find symbol [ERROR] symbol: class VMManagement [ERROR] location: package sun.management [ERROR] /Users/davidradley/flinkapicurio/flink-end-to-end-tests/flink-local-recovery-and-allocation-test/src/main/java/org/apache/flink/streaming/tests/StickyAllocationAndLocalRecoveryTestJob.java:[418,59] cannot find symbol [ERROR] symbol: class VMManagement [ERROR] location: package sun.management As per the link in the issue, sun. packages are not supported or part of the JDK after java 1.7. I would like to have the priority raised on this Jira and would like to change the code so it builds successfully by removing the dependency on this old / unsupported sun package . I am happy to work on this, if you are willing to support this by assigning me the Jira and merging the fix; ideally we would like this to be in the next release - Flink 1.19, Kind regards, David.
